favorite flats: how to
January 7, 2013 § 6 Comments
you know that favorite pair of shoes that are not necessarily the best of quality but for some reason you find yourself wearing them over and over again? yeah, well these are those flats, and they had been looking pretty beat down i must say. i tried to donate them to goodwill but decided to make them over because the back of the heel had a water stain, not to mention a few scuff marks. i’d say that i can probably get a few more wears out of them now, thanks to some puffy paint and decorative duct tape which i added at the last minute because it was just too pretty.
you will need:
• a pair of gently used basic flats
• fabric paint in black
• mini sponge pouncer
• pretty duct tape
to do:
1. tape off the areas that you don’t want to paint
2. squeeze a little paint onto a palette surface
3. paint the surface of the shoe with the paint
4. allow to completely dry and remove duct tape
* optional:
apply duct tape strips to the fronts of the shoes, they are also easily removable for a more simple look.
You’re so brave to try things like this Kristina, I could never do it to my beloved shoes!

Very cool. I love the new look of the shoe. Great idea too!
What a cool idea!! It completely transforms a rather very simple pair of shoes! This is something ‘for sure’ to do, and it’s so simple! Love it!
What’s great about this is, there’s absolutely nothing to it! And yet, the result is ‘awesome’. Wow!
You always make a great DIY! I love the new look of your flat shoes. So chic and goes with everything :) Great post, Kristina! xo akiko
